Spring – holding hope and expectation for growth yet to come
When I think of Spring, I think of tending and caring for the earth. Getting outside, enjoying nature, and tending to our winter-neglected yards just feels like what you are meant to do in Spring.
Spring extends an invitation to linger just a little longer, considering the world with all five senses fully engaged.
Can you feel the lingering cold of winter in the air, mingling with the warmth of the sun shining on your skin?
Listen carefully as the birds’ song grows louder while watching the growing light of day.
Smell wet dirt, perhaps feel the damp earth between your fingers as you find your way into the garden, tasting the freshness of Spring’s early lettuce.

I’ve discovered amazing companies I love to support from friends, so I thought I would share a few of my Favorite Places to Shop to help our environment, support fair trade or help a good cause.
We love shopping at Grove for all our home cleaning essentials.
Thrive Market is a favorite for organic and environmentally friendly food and kitchen supplies.
As a non-shopper ThredUp has become my favorite way to shop consignment. Good for my pocketbook and our earth.
Sela Designs is my favorite place to shop for jewelry and gift twice. I can purchase a gift for a friend, knowing my purchase is helping support amazing causes around the world.
Missio Hair Products are my new favorite. I have loved the products I’ve purchased so far, and love even more that they support restoring hope and fighting against human trafficking.
Thrive Cosmetics is a newer company to me, but I have fallen in love with their cosmetics and their mission to make a difference in communities around the world.
Mercy House Global is a great place to find fair trade products empowering women all over the world. And if you are a non-shopper and love beautiful handcrafted items, Ann Voskamp partners with Mercy House Global to send out a quarterly Grace Case.
Spend a little more, get much more, and do some good for others. I like to put items from places like The Root Collective, Made Free, and Patagonia on my Christmas and Birthday wish list.
